My name is Dorothy and my youngest son Nick is the inspiration for this website. Nick was born in 1994 and diagnosed with biliary atresia at the age of 8 weeks. He’s 15 years old this year and still buzzing along nicely with his “original equipment.” Although he hasn’t needed a liver transplant we know that can change, and probably will. I try not to dwell on it too much, but biliary atresia and liver transplants are topics that I think about, read about, and research on a regular basis.
My plans for this website:
- Store, share & discuss medical journal articles, news items and current events in the Journal Club
- Raise funds for the American Liver Foundation
- Write about pediatric liver news, research & current events
- Write about my brave boy and life with biliary atresia

With friendship,
In case you’re wondering what’s up with the bees, our last name— 
—is the French word for bumblebee!
